The stator winding uses Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) technology for the ground wall insulation.
Hydrogen-cooled generators with water-cooled stator windings
Laminated stator core is cooled directly by hydrogen flowing through axial ventilation paths in the length of the stator core.
A magnetic end shield at each end of the stator core allows rated MVA to 0.95 underexcited (leading) power factor without excessive temperatures in the ends of the stator core. Rotor winding is axially, directly cooled by hydrogen flowing through each turn of the winding.
Siemens offers in its Siemens Generator (SGen™) product line hydrogen-cooled, two-pole generators with water-cooled stator windings. The SGen-3000W series has ratings over 600 MVA for steam turbine and single-shaft steam and gas turbine applications.
A Performance Plus™ System hydrogen seal design based on carbon elements has moved the seal technology a revolutionary step forward. A carbon seal ring, which requires much less seal oil, significantly reduces the required capacity and size of the seal oil system. This technology greatly reduces seal oil contamination in the hydrogen gas and improves emergency seal operating characteristics.
Cooling performance is improved by a factor of approximately 14 through the use of hydrogen gas in place of air as the coolant for the rotor winding and stator core. At the same time, frictional losses are significantly lower, thus improving the overall generator efficiency. An increased output per unit volume of stator-winding active material is possible because of the higher thermal conductivity and specific heat of water. It is this advantage of water that makes it possible to build generators for higher ratings than is possible using air or hydrogen as the cooling medium for the stator winding components. For over 40 years Siemens has made many detailed improvements to the design of hydrogen-cooled generators with water-cooled stator windings: Smaller size and therefore reduced space requirements in the turbine building Higher efficiency Totally enclosed system minimizes the risk of contamination inside the generator. Consistent improvement in the design of hydrogen-cooled generators with watercooled stator windings has brought about operating efficiencies of up to 99%. A proven modular system enables the production of a wider range of generators by using rotors with different diameters as well as different active body lengths. The same design philosophies and tools are used in the design of the entire product line of air-cooled, hydrogen-cooled, and hydrogen-cooled with water-cooled stator winding generators. This means that customers with hydrogen-cooled with water-cooled stator winding generators benefit from the manufacturing and operational advances made to the entire product line of generators. A design requiring low maintenance in connection with our worldwide service network can result in the highest availability.
The RIGI-FLEX® end-winding support system has been in successful operation since the 1980s. This well-proven bracing system provides rigidity to withstand transient fault loads combined with flexibility to withstand normal operation cyclic thermal expansion and contraction, which occurs during startups and load changes.
Generator frame design enables generators to be installed outdoors.
The stator core is flexibly supported in the outer casing by spring assemblies. This prevents vibrations at double rotational frequency from impacting the outer casing and thus the foundation tabletop.
A single multi-stage blower at the turbine end of the generator circulates the hydrogen gas for cooling of the rotor, stator core and frame components.
Four vertical independent heat exchangers are used on the turbine drive end of the generator for cooling of the hydrogen.
